A New Era Dawns . . .
A new era began at Samford Univer-
sity this fall as Dr. Thomas E. Corts be-
came the 1 7th president of the 1 42-year
old Baptist institution.
Dr. Corts, former president of Win-
gate College, succeeded Dr. Leslie S.
Wright, who retired to the post of chan-
cellor on Aug. 31 after 25 years as the
school's leader.
Samford opened this fall term with
some 4,000 students enrolled, including
approximately 1,100 new students in
four categories — undergraduate, trans-
fer, law, and graduate programs. The
students hail from every Alabama coun-
ty and more than 30 other states.
Dr. Corts, in his semester-opening ad-
dress to students, defined education as
"a confronting of people and ideas and
circumstances that makes a dramatic
impact upon who we are, the values we
believe in, what we stand up for, what we sit down for, and what
we say we are willing to die for."
"All of that is here," the new president said, "and all of it will
come cascading across your countenance in the course of this year
in a way that it may never have come to you before."
He described Samford as a place of "people and ideas, and one
fine gem of a place," but reminded the students that "the educa-
tion that takes or does not take with you is more dependent on you
than any person in this room."
Dr. Corts begins his Samford tenure committed to continuing
"the quest for excellence."
"I like to do things right the first time," he told a reporter in
early September. "I believe you should do your research, involve a
lot of people in the decision-making process, and get the job done.
"I would like to do what we do even better. Oftentimes, that
means money. There are numerous good ideas in the world of
education. All of them have a price tag.
"So I would like to find the resources to do some of the things
we are doing, and do them even better."
The Georgetown College and Indiana University graduate,
who will be 42 on Oct. 7, is a strong believer in international
education.
"I want to bring a dimension of internationalism to Samford,"
he said. "I am very committed to the idea that a Christian who
grows up without a world vision is less than he ought to be, since
we of all people ought to be concerned about the othermost parts
of the world."
"And I think that if you were not a
Christian, from a strictly educational
standpoint, from the standpoint of
simply world citizenship, that this
would be a vital component of educa-
tion in our time."
"An education that does not con-
front the internationality of life, or
that does not admit that we are all
global citizens, is second rate," he
said.
At Wingate, Dr. Corts initiated a
unique "Winternational" program
which allowed a student at the mid-
point of the sophomore year to travel
abroad at almost no additional cost.
At Samford, the international em-
phasis could focus on such areas as
world missions and international
business, he said.
Already, the school has added a new interdisciplinary program
in International Relations. Offered through the Department of
History and Political Science, the new program enables a student
to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Relations by
completing prescribed courses in history, political science, the
humanities, economics, behavioral sciences, and foreign lan-
guages.
The program seeks to produce generalists who are able to
synthesize information from many fields rather than specialists,
according to Dr. David M. Vess, head of the Department of
History and Political Science.
Samford is comprised of eight component schools and colleges
and three separate divisions. School and colleges are the Howard
College of Arts and Sciences, Cumberland School of Law, Orlean
Bullard Beeson School of Education, Ida V. Moffett School of
Nursing and schools of business, graduate studies, music and
pharmacy. Separate divisions include Air Force ROTC, Anesthe-
sia and Paralegal Studies.
Through this variety of academic programs, Samford offers
courses leading to 21 degrees.
Samford was chartered as Howard College by Alabama Bap-
tists in Marion, Alabama, in the fall of 1 84 1 . The school moved to
the East Lake section of Birmingham in 1887 and to its present
Homewood location in 1957.
Samford has known its greatest growth at its present site. The
school's enrollment has increased more than 175 percent and the
14
percentage of faculty members holding the earned doctoral de-
gree had grown to more than twice the national average since
1957.
A campus of more than 30 major structures with a replacement
value of approximately $75 million has been built. The school has
pumped millions of dollars into the economy of Homewood and
Jefferson County.

%*£% Excellence is his commitment
An air of expectancy hangs over Samford University's
campus this week as parents unload boxes and help their
freshmen students get settled in for fall term.
One of the fathers himself will be a newcomer to the
university nestled at the foot of Birmingham's Shades
Mountain.
Dr. Thomas E. Corts takes over as president of Samford
Thursday as his daughter, Jennifer, begins studies as a
freshman at the Baptist liberal arts school.
Corts, who has been president of Wingate College in
North Carolina for the past nine years, succeeds Dr. Leslie
S. Wright who is retiring to become chancellor.
Corts describes Samford as a "jewel of a place," a quality
institution with a bright future.
The new president said he hopes to build on the founda-
tions laid by Wright. But he said his primary interest is in
trying to make a lasting impact on students' values and in
commitments to academic excellence rather than in bricks
and mortar.
Many institutions face difficult times because of declin-
ing enrollment, but Samford's well-defined mission and role
as a Baptist institution give it distinction and stability, he
said.
"Declining enrollment certainly will be a pressure,"
Corts said. But he said standards will not be lowered to
maintain enrollment. The university is at capacity with
about 4,000 students, and plans are to remain at that level,
he said.
"We will try to assure quality and quantity of students,"
he said.
Corts said he wants to focus on quality so Samford "can
reach even greater distinction."
"There are a lot of ideas in
the world of education; all off
them have a price tag."
— Dr. Thomas Corts
A key ingredient will be to boost the university's endow-
ment of $7 million, which he called "extremely modest" for
Samford's size. He said he doesn't have a firm goal or
timetable, but $50 million "would be a good number."
During Corts' tenure as president of Wingate, endow-
ment funds of the 1,500-student college more than doubled
from $2 million in 1974 to $6 million in 1981.
"There are alot of ideas in the world of education," he
said. "All of them have a price tag."
A top priority will be to make international studies a
central commitment of Samford "if the institution is will-
ing," he said. Global perspectives can be emphasized in
courses, reading assignments and through special programs
in which students study abroad, he said.
At Wingate, he started a program that allowed students
at the midpoint of their sophomore year to travel abroad at
almost no additional cost.
Samford can make a commitment to giving students an
international education as some schools do for supporting
football, Corts said.
Students need to have a global view of events and a
glimpse of what it means to be a world citizen because of the
importance of international trade in the business world, as
well as the Baptist tradition of pumping money into healing
and teaching in other countries, he said.
Corts, a 41 -year-old native of Terre Haute, Ind., is a
graduate of Georgetown College with a doctorate from In-
diana University. Before going to Wingate, he was coordin-
ator of the Kentucky Higher Education Consortium and
director of planning, executive dean and chief operating
officer at Georgetown College.

A NEW ERA DAWNS:
INAUGURATION
Pianist-composer Dave Brubeck and former Chicago mayor
Jane Byrne joined noted lecturers from the fields of religion and
economics on a series of programs celebrating the inauguration of
Samford University's new president, Dr. Thomas E. Corts, Sun-
day-through-Wednesday, Nov. 6-9.
Also participating in the four-day event were Dr. John Heller,
former Yale University medical professor and author of the book
REPORT ON THE SHROUD OF TURIN; Dr. Donald Ratajc-
zak, nationally known economic forecaster from Atlanta; and Dr.
Gerhard Claas, general secretary of the Baptist World Alliance.
Dr. Corts was formally installed as Samford's 17th president on
Wednesday, Nov. 9, during an 1 1 a.m. program in Wright Fine
Arts Center at Samford. Dr. Claas, a German pastor who was
elected to head the BWA in 1980, delivered the major address.
Inauguration Week began Sunday, Nov. 6, with a lecture by Dr.
Heller, a key member of the scientist team that investigated the
Shroud of Turin in 1978.
Dr. Heller, whose book on the Shroud was a Book-of-the-Month
Club selection last June, discussed the exhaustive study made on
the relic which many believe to be the burial shroud of Jesus. The
scientist team tackled the question of how the image of a face was
formed on the Shroud.
Dr. Heller answered questions from a panel of religion news
editors on Monday, Nov. 7, at 10 a.m. in Wright Fine Arts Center.
Dr. Ratajczak, who has earned a national reputation for accura-
cy in his economic forecasts for such bodies as the Joint Economic
Committee of the U.S. Congress, spoke Monday, Nov. 7, in Wright
Fine Arts Center. His talk focused on Alabama's economic future.
Mrs. Byrne, who served as Chicago's first woman mayor during
1979-83, spoke Tuesday, Nov. 8, in Wright Fine Arts Center. A
former Commissioner of Consumer Services of Chicago, she imple-
mented numerous budgetary reforms during her tenure as mayor
which reduced Chicago's accumulated debt by more than $100
million.
Brubeck, a popular musician who has become an influential
force in contemporary sacred music in recent years, performed
with his Quartet and the Samford Festival Chorus on a program
entitled "An Evening with Dave Brubeck" Tuesday, Nov. 8, in
Wright Fine Arts Center.
The musician-composer has been critically acclaimed by church
musicians for such works as "To Hope: A Celebration," his most
recent work, and his oratorios based on the life and teachings of
Jesus, "Beloved Son" and "The Light in the Wilderness."
Dr. Claas, from Wetter, Germany, was elected to head the BWA
at the 14th Baptist World Congress in Toronto, Canada, three
years ago. The Alliance is a worldwide fellowship of 127 Baptist
conventions and unions from 90 countries dedicated to strengthen-
ing international cooperation among its 30 million members.

Retiring Wright
has overseen
Samford Growth
When the cornerstone of Samford Hall was laid in
1954, school officials and Baptist leaders celebrated
with a barbecue on the grounds of what was to become
Samford University.
Among those present was Dr. Leslie S. Wright, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Baptist Foundation of Ala-
bama, based in Montgomery.
Construction of Samford Hall marked the beginning
of a new era for what then was known as Howard
College, which was moving from East Lake to the base
of Shades Mountain in Homewood.
Four years later, Wright was named president of
Samford. Now, after 25 years — a longer tenure than
any other current Alabama college or university presi-
dent — he will retire Thursday to the post of chancellor.
Under Wright, Samford grew from 1,500 students
and seven buildings to 4,000 students and 27 buildings.
"The total growth and building of the university is what
I am most proud of," said Wright, the son of a Baptist
minister and a Birmingham native.
In 1961, the Baptist liberal arts college added Cum-
berland School of Law, which grew from 60 students
that first year to 775 this year. Four years later, the
college was elevated to university status and its name
changed to Samford University.
Academic Programs were diversified and offerings
expanded to more than 50 areas of study in eight
schools within the university. The campus has profes-
sional schools in pharmacy and nursing as well as law,
and graduate programs in several fields.
Wright said he also is proud of the growth and
strength of the faculty, which includes graduates of
over 100 colleges and universities throughout the coun-
try.
And students now come from 42 states and 20 coun-
tries, though most are from Alabama.
Wright praised Baptist financial support for Sam-
ford, which he said is more than most church-related
colleges receive from their denominations. And the Bir-
mingham business community and individuals have
"responded generously" with private gifts to match
funds provided by Baptist churches, he said.
He credits his wife, the former Lolla Catherine Wur-
tele, for being a "hardworking, involved helpmate" by
20
assisting and supporting his efforts.
In addition to his work at Samford, Wright serves on
a number of boards of directors, including City Federal
Savings and Loan Association and the Alabama Coun-
cil on Economic Education. He was a member of the
Alabama Ethics Commission for six years and its chair-
man twice.
He has received numerous honors, including election
to the Alabama Academy of Honor in 1973, Birming-
ham Citizen of the Year in 1975 and the Religious
Heritage of America Award as Educator of the Year in
1979.
Looking at Samford's future, Wright said "The big
task ahead is to maintain the quality of the educational
programs, to maintain and strengthen the quality of the
faculty, and to maintain and strengthen ties with the
Alabama Baptist constituency."

Wright's Charge: Build Campus
When Dr. Leslie S. Wright became president of
Samford University — then Howard College — a quar-
ter of a century ago, the Shades Valley campus was
barely a year old.
"We had seven buildings, not many trees, not many
sidewalks, and a lot of mud," Dr. Wright recalled in
early August. "There was a great deal to be done in the
way of construction."
The Board of Trustees which elected him president
gave Wright a clearly-defined mission.
"My only charge from the trustees was to build the
campus, under their guidance and direction," he re-
called. "That has been the consuming task during these
25 years in which we have practically completed the
original master plan for the campus."
Dr. Wright retired to the post of chancellor on Au-
gust 31, turning the reins over to his successor, Dr.
Thomas E. Corts, who had served as president of Win-
gate College in North Carolina for the past nine years.
Wright leaves the legacy of a builder.
The campus has grown to 27 academic buildings and
seven auxiliary structures with a total investment of
some $50 million and a net worth of twice that figure.
Enrollment has advanced from 1,500 in the fall of 1958
to 4, 100 last September. The faculty has grown from 65
members 25 years ago to 291 today. The annual budget
has increased from $1,255,000 in 1958 to $16,417,000
this fall.
Trees have reached maturity and grass has covered
the sloping hillsides. Ankle-deep mud is no longer a
rainy day threat.
Looking back over the years, Dr. Wright described
Samford's progress as matter of "measured growth."
"We have not tried to expand rapidly, but only as
rapidly as we could provide high calibre programs, fa-
cilities, and qualified faculty members in new academic
areas," he said.
Similarly, the building of campus structures followed
no predetermined sequence, although the campus mas-
ter plan designed during the early 1950s was followed
closely.
"We did not have a numbered order of buildings that
would be constructed in a certain order at the outset
because we did not know how the needs would develop."
21
Dr. Wright proud of campus, academic growth
—Acquisition of the Cumberland School of Law
from Cumberland University in 1961, uniting with
Samford the traditions of one of the nation's oldest law
schools.
-Elevation of Howard College to Samford Univer-
sity in 1965. The school was named in honor of Frank
Park Samford, the institution's greatest individual
benefactor, and his family.
Reinstitution of Master's degree programs in
1965.
— Adoption of the 4-1-4 academic calendar in 1969,
thus providing a January Term as a period for concen-
trated study in one particular area.
—Joining with Baptist Medical Centers to offer two-
year and four-year baccalaureate nursing degrees
through the Ida V. Moffett School of Nursing in 1973.
-The continued growth of the academic program
over the years. In 1958, only 21 majors were offered;
today, Samford provides more than 50 courses of study.
How does Dr. Wright think he will be remembered?
"As a builder, I suppose. The campus is a sort of
silent testimony to what we have tried to do. That was
my charge from the trustees. Build the campus. Build
the faculty. Build the academic program. Build the
student body. Build our relationships with the State
Baptist Convention. Build our relationships in the com-
munity.
"I have made every effort possible to do all those
things. I have not been completely successful in any of
them, but I am proud of the progress we have made."

Dr. Teal Receives Buchanon Award
Dr. Janice Teal, the recipient of the John Buchanon Award for excellent teaching in the
classroom is the head of the Psychology Department of Samford's School of Education. She is ac-
tive on several committees and somehow even finds time to chairperson some of them.
When asked why she chose psychology for her profession, she tells her story with a grin on her
face. And any student who has been under her instruction knows why. Her first love was Biology.
But lo and behold our zealous Dr. Teal, then a determined Biology major found to her dismay she
was allergic to formaldehyde! So being the situation, as Dr. Teal puts it, "I chose the closest thing
to it" when she refers to her choice of Experimental Psychology, specifically, physiological
psychology.
Being updated on new
studies and research is im-
portant to Dr. Teal. One rea-
son she is so dedicated to
maintaining current data is
to best benefit her students,
the other is due to her long-
ing to someday get back into
research. She would also like
to have a publication or two
to brag about.
Dr. Teal responded that
getting the Buchanon Award
meant a lot to her. She at-
tributed her success to the
fact that she is straight-for-
ward with her students and
they therefore understand
her, and respect her. Dr.
Teal added that she is re-
warded by knowing that she
has been a part of a student
furthering his/her educa-
tion.
Dr. Teal is truly what
"academic excellence in a
christian environment" is all
about.

One of Many Changes
What do the horror classic "Dracula", jazz great Dave Brubeck, and the S.U. Basketball and
Debate Teams have in common? They were all featured in special broadcasts by WVSU this year.
Some of the most talked about changes at Samford this year were made at WVSU-FM,
Samford's campus radio station. After receiving permission from the F.C.C. to boost the station's
transmitting power from ten to one hundred twenty-five watts, Samford hired Greg Womblc. a
Samford alumni who has worked in the radio communications field for several years, to coordi-
nate the renovation of the old studios and the construction of a new transmitter. The station was to
be overseen by Dean M.A. Cox, Mr. Womble, and an Advisory Board comprised of faculty,
alumni, student leaders and experienced area broadcasters. As in the past, the students were to
hold the positions that were in charge of running the station on a day to day basis; the idea being to
give Samford students an opportunity to learn up-to-date broadcasting techniques and gain
hands-on experience. The students are involved in everything from the duties of an announcer to
writing, producing, and editing a show for airing.
If you were to ask a Samford student how he thought the station had changed, he would
probably say that the format had changed from Contemporary Christian to jazz. What most
students don't know is that is only partly correct. Although WVSU's primary programming is
jazz, the station does, in fact play classical, folk, sacred, and Contemporary Christian music as
well. But don't get the idea that it's all music, there are also news, sports, public service,
educational and children's programming as well as radio drama like Fibber McGee and Molly, X
MINUS ONE, and offerings from the S.U. Drama Department.
The station is not only a success on campus, but the quality programming this year has built
WVSU, and Samford, a repu-
tation in the Birmingham area
that all of us can be proud of.

Bulldog Basketball rose to new heights in 1983-84. Samford's 23-8 record
was their best ever at the Division I level and their first twenty-win season in
over a decade.
The Bulldogs finished runner-up in both the Trans-American Conference
regular season race and the Conference Tournament. However, one of Sam-
ford's biggest wins was over TAAC Champion Houston Baptist in Houston.
The team's eight-game winning streak in mid-season was the talk of the town.
Attendance and enthusiasm were at an all-time high. Samford had their biggest
home crowd in recent memory when 2800 fans came out to cheer on the
Bulldogs against Houston Baptist.
Individually, the Dogs were lead by Craig Beard. The 6'6" junior guard lead
the team in scoring and was voted Most Valuable Player of both the Missouri
"Show-Me Classic" and the TAAC Tournament.
Daryl Hagler and Bernie Matthews were the other two guards who played the
most. Hagler lead the team in assists, while Matthews lead the entire conference
in three-point shooting. John Morgan and Mike Powell also contributed off the
bench at the guard spot.
Down low, George Green, Ricky Moore, and Rob Drum were the starters.
Each of these played well as did Todd Holt. The other three Bulldogs were Joe
Bomba, Brian Lewis and Jerry Osinski.
Overall, it was a super year for Samford Basketball. Coach Hanks was voted
Trans-American Conference Coach of the Year and Craig Beard was named
all-TAAC. Though we were all disappointed that the N.C.A.A. and N.I.T.
passed us over, one gets the feeling that as far as Samford Basketball is con-
cerned, the best is yet to come! — G. Peeples

PENSEZ
"Pense/" (French for "you think") is Samford's literary magazine founded in 1963 upon the suggestion of Dr.
Austin C. Dobbins and implemented by Dr. Charles Workman. "Pensez" was published semi-annually until 1968,
after which it was published annually. "Pensez" has sponsored contests in each major category of submissions: po-
et r\ . short story, essay, photography, and art. Also, this year they are extending their photography and art contest
to include one for the cover design.
The main purpose of "Pensez" is to promote and enhance creativity in the literary arts by stimulating
constructive thought in college students and serving as an outlet for writing interests.
One wishing to join the staff must have some background in the literary arts and have a suitable GPA therein.
Past experience in business or on a newspaper, magazine, or yearbook staff is preferable but not mandatory. If in-
terested, contact Dr. Charles Workman.

Advisors — Dr. Charles Workman and Mr. Russell Donaldson.
The following are the first place winners in Pensez's Short Story and Poetry contests:
Love
Unable to submit
in silent resignation
I rage against the dying
of my dream.
Hope is not enough;
my faith is weakened,
But Love remains.
I recall Pyramus and Thisbe
Separated also by a wall,
But theirs had a chink, a crack,
and mine wouldn't break.
"Tis far better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all,"
so the saying goes,
But unwilling to lose
what I can grasp of a love
so hopeless, so confined,
I press myself against
the glass
As close as possible to
my unattainable desire—
my dream.
The barrier can't take
such determined assault.
It melts slightly
under the weight of my longing
and despair —
It shudders slightly, splinters,
falls sparkling to the ground
in a million tiny shards,
Some embedded deeply in
my heart
Leaving their imprints:
the slow-healing wounds,
the scars of past and present pain,
deeply felt
and long remembered.
Sometimes love is gentle;
Sometimes . . .
Sometimes love can hurt.

"A Story of Love"
Tommy was a good boy. He was about ten years old.
Some days after school Tommy's mother would send
him down to the store to pick up something for her.
Usually eggs, or milk, or things like that. Tommy al-
ways did as his mother said. He never kept the change
for himself and he always hurried home to please his
mother.
One Wednesday after school, Tommy's mother sent
him to the store for a loaf of bread. Just as he had done
many times before, Tommy hurried to the store and
bought the bread his mother wanted. On his way back
home Tommy saw an old woman sitting on a bench he
had walked past so many times before. He quickly
walked past the old woman, for Tommy did not want to
be late with his mother's bread.
The next week sometime, Monday or Tuesday, Tom-
my was walking to the store to buy some eggs. As he
walked past that familiar bench there sat the same old
woman. As Tommy walked past her she said, "Hello
son, how are you today?" Tommy, slightly startled by
her question quickly blurted out "fine, thank-you" and
walked on to the store to buy the eggs.
As Tommy walked he was curious about the old
woman. She was poorly dressed and carried a few bags
with her. Tommy thought she was about seventy years
old. But the thing which made Tommy remember her
was her face. The old woman looked lonely to him, as if
she had just cried. But she also looked as if she were
happy. To Tommy, though, her eyes shone like stars in
the dark sky.
On the way back home Tommy carried the eggs very
carefully so as not to break them, and as usual, all the
change was secure inside his pants pocket.
Tommy was approaching the old woman again. She
smiled at him and he smiled back. When he reached the
bench, Tommy, unlike himself, stopped and said "hi" to
the old woman. She smiled at him and it seemed as if
light shone from her eyes. "I'm Tommy, what's your
name" Tommy asked the old woman. She said her
name was Mabel.
Ten minutes had past and Tommy needed to hurry
home for he was already late. But he didn't want to say
good-bye to Mabel just yet. She was a very kind old
woman. She said her husband was dead. But she told
Tommy about her little boy, who was grown up now.
To Tommy, the old woman was so interesting. But he
had to go. As he was walking away he said "good-bye",
and she did too. Then Tommy felt into his pants pocket
and pulled out a shiny new quarter. He handed it to her
and quickly ran home. The old woman gently held the
quarter and wiped a tear as she watched Tommy go on
his way.
Tommy's mother was worried and very upset when
he showed up late. She sent him to his room, yet Tommy
didn't mind. He only thought of the old woman and her
shining face. Tommy liked the old woman, and he want-
ed to see her tomorrow.
Each and every da\ for the next feu weeks Tommy
would go and see the old woman. He enjoyed being with
her. She comforted him, made him laugh, told him
stories, but most of all she cared for him. Her shining
eyes told Tommy that she did care lor him.
Often times Tomim would hold her hand and she
would recite him poetry she had memorized many years
ago. Before Tommy met the old woman he never had
this much fun with anybod) else. Tommy loved the old
woman and she loved him. But each day with the old
woman had to come to an end. Tommy always politely
said "good-bye". And as each day ended the old woman
would hold in her hand that shiny new quarter which
Tommy gave her. and she too would utter a soft "good-
bye". Tommy hated to leave the old woman each time
he was with her, but he looked forw ard to each new day
he would spend with her.
It was Thursday and Tommy rushed to see the old
woman. However when he got to the bench she was not
there. "Maybe she will be here soon," he thought, but
after an hour patiently waiting, she still had not come.
Brokenhearted Tommy walked home and went to
bed early that night. He was sad but he hoped that the
old woman would be there tomorrow.
The next day came and the old woman was not there
again. Days came and went, weeks began to pass too,
and she had not come. Each night Tommy became more
withdrawn and silent. He missed the old woman, but
didn't know where to find her.
Three weeks had past since Tommy had last seen the
old woman, and he had lost almost all hope of seeing her
again. The next day came and Tommy skipped school.
He waited all day at the bench where he and the old
woman used to sit together. She never came.
Tommys' last hopes fell with the setting sun and he
began to cry. He cried silently, but his tears were full,
his heart was sad and he was lonely. But as he cried he
saw a glimmer of light come from underneath the
bench. It reminded him of the light that shone from the
old woman's eyes. He looked closer and then he saw the
source of the light. A shiny new quarter was underneath
the bench where he used to sit with the old woman.
Tommy picked up the quarter and dusted it off. As he
looked at it he stopped crying and a smile came on his
lace. The quarter reminded him of the old woman and
the fun they had being together. He remembered how
he used to hold her hand, and he remembered the poetr\
she said. He remembered her face, how the light shone
from her eyes, he remembered her smile. He remem-
bered everything.
Tommy walked home that evening. He did not see the
old woman that day. and he will never see her again. But
Tommy has never spent that quarter he found. The
quarter helps Tommy remember those happy days. The
old woman will never sit at that bench again, but Tom-
my remembers her and each day they spent together.
He will always remember. Anonymous
ENTRE NOUS
The dedication to our goals for the Entrc Nous really seemed to apply to
the 19X4 edition. We set some high expectations for this annual at the
beginning of the school year, knowing that we had a long way to go and a lot
of work to do to make our dreams come true. We knew that we couldn't
completely turn around the publication in only a few months after a ten year
tradition of inadequate work but we wanted to get the Entre Nous started in
the right direction to make it representative of Samford University.
Production problems prevented the completion of Entre Nous 1983 so
when it was determined that an attempt would be made to publish a 1984
edition, it was decided that it would have to be large enough to cover many
events from both the 1983 and 1984 school years. To accomplish this, the
size of the publication was almost doubled from the traditional 144 pages, to
a si/e that was comparable to many other small universities across the
United States. The decision to include twenty-nine pages of color instead of
Samford's traditional eight was made in an effort to increase the visual
appeal of the annual.
Along with the innovations of the new Entre Nous, some of the problems
of the past have crept in. Because of lack of and mis-communication many of
the University Sports could not be included and for that we sincerely apolo-
gize. Another fault of the book is the lack of several of the Organizations
pictures. Due to photography problems, many of these could not be included.
There are other shortcomings of this edition but these two are the most
evident.
Losses for the year include: one publisher; two Business Managers; two
Student Life Editors; two Organizations Editors; one Honors Editor; seven
Photographers; two Typists; nine bottles of Liquid Paper; five typewriter
ribbons; one typewriter; three staff rooms; one office; one Student Affairs
Advisor; twelve grease pencils; fifteen ballpoint pens; countless pizzas, bot-
tles of Coke, hours of sleep; and the sanity of the staff.
Traditionally, the Editor of a publication is allowed a few lines to throw in
some comments about all of the work and time needed to put together an
annual and to give some special thanks to friends and to others that were
especially helpful with the publication. Well, I only want to carry on half of
that tradition: if you have never been involved with the staff of an annual,
there is really no way that a few words could convey how much time and
effort are really necessary to put together a book covering the activities of the
year so I am not going to attempt it. But, I do think it is necessary to offer a
few words of thanks to those involved in the publication of Entre Nous 1 984.
Mo. Monique. Monica and Mobear — after a year of wasted work I'm very
thankful that you decided to do it all over again. I couldn't have made it
without you. Love you. Miss you.
Beth — sorry you couldn't stay 'til the end but I'm glad that you got Life
(this one and yours) off in the right direction. Congratulations and good
luck. When's the next beach trip? Life is a big dog. Pappa S.
Mien Big Brother and friend, you're the best.
Marg — Cous, you were really someone to count on, especially at the last
minute. Thanks so much for everything.
Cindy — Good luck next year. I know you'll be super and so will the '85.
Henle — Thank you for the background and support, it really paid off.
Dave — You were there from the beginning. Thanks for staying with it and
doing more than your share.
Misha — You are SUPER! I'm so thankful that you were always so calm
and you did whatever needed to be done while everyone else was in a panic.
Leah -You're great to compare troubles with. I'll listen any time.
Mike — Your beginning really helped pull this one through. Sorry it didn't
work out earlier but now I can understand.
K.D. You are the greatest. Thank you for your constant support.
Lauri — You really came through with all of your hard work. God's gonna
do a lot with you.
Terry — Couldn't have done it without you (especially the last 180 pages
or so). Thanks isn't enough to say.
To everyone on the staff- there isn't enough space to tell you how much I
appreciate your work. Thank \ou all.

A new logo . . .
Samford m University
. . . and how it was created
ASSIGNMENT: Design a new logo for Samford
University.
This was the charge placed with Leo Wright, art
director of Luckie and Forney Advertising, last year.
The new design would replace a logo in use since
Samford attained university status in 1964, one
which featured the University seal and Old English
type.
"Dr. Thomas Corts, the new president, asked us to
develop a log which would have a contemporary,
modern look at the same time taking into consider-
ation the traditional values of the University and the
architecture of the campus," Wright recalled.
"He also was thinking in terms of world awareness,
of Samford being a world-conscious place."
With these guidelines, Wright began the creative
process. The first designs featured spherical, map-
like elements. The idea then evolved into designs us-
ing the letter "S" in various circular configurations,
conveying the global theme. Later, more traditional
designs were introduced using the "O" in Samford as
a vehicle to communicate the school's commitment to
world involvement.
"Many type faces were considered before the right
one was found," said Wright. "The use of all capital
letters was ruled out in favor of upper and lower case,
which offered greater readability. Because of the
similarity between the names Samford and Stanford,
we needed to make the individual letters easily recog-
nizable."
The artists settled on a type face called Baker Sig-
net.
"It has a nice, rounded look," Wright said. "It is
formal, but modern. I think it is expressive of Sam-
ford."
Deciding on the logo design took longer. Dozens of
ideas were considered, then rejected. Finally, it was
decided that the bell tower housing the Rushton Me-
morial Carillon atop Harwell G. Davis Library was
the single most identifying visual symbol of the Uni-
versity.
"We went to the tower rather late in the game,"
Wright said. "It is not unusual in the creative process
to go through numerous ideas before finding the per-
fect one. A logo says something when people look at
it. You want to make sure you're saying what you
want to say."
The tower idea itself went through numerous
stages, as the Georgian Colonial architecture of the
belfry was stylized to its basic elements. Then, the
tower symbol was paired with the Baker Signet type-
face, and the design came together.
The finished concept — in which the round corners
of the tower design repeat the rounded letters of the
type was introduced last fall. Today, the design is in
wide use on Samford letterhead and in University
advertising and publications.

Early versions of Samford's new logo sought to convey the school's commitment to world
involvement. Later, the bell tower was chosen because it was considered the single most

New Beginnings
Having fun at college does not include toting fifty pounds of luggage down to "C"
Dorm. Everyone is laughing at the freshman with clothes hanging out of five suit-
cases. With boxes slacked everywhere, excitement soars over getting to decorate new
rooms with posters bought the day before. The life of a freshman is great because of
the pity received from upperclassmen when doing something embarrassing — drop-
ping a tray, signing up for advanced weightlifting, or asking directions to the Beeson
Student Center. Anticipation arises of meeting roommates and having the first
college romance, sometimes worrying that the first college romance will not be until
the senior year. Guys think they have college life packed until they attempt to wash
their new red polo with their new white pants. Yes, the journey of a freshman is slow
to start, but soon the excitement of college life picks up and things begin to look good.
Also encountered in the life
o( a freshman is the thrill of
staying up all night to study for
a test, for the first time. Hiding
out in the IHOP, drinking fif-
teen cups of coffee, and using
toothpicks as eyelid openers are
all part of fun and fellowship
during finals week. Adjusting to
college life is not an easy job for
freshmen, but it is one that
brings a feeling of accomplish-
ment and satisfaction in their :
lives.

Innovations
Many modifications were made at Samford University
during the past summer. One of the more important
changes took place in the Beeson cafeteria. Instead of
being a social meeting place and paying for food after it
was received, the procedure now forces the student to
either show his identification card or pay three dollars
before he receives his food. Also attracting lots of atten-
tion in the cafeteria, is the new soft-serve ice cream ma-
chine, which provides a delicious snack after meals.
New SAC offices and a wide screen TV in the main
lounge have been added to Beeson Student Center. "C"
Dorm West has taken a few changes also. Instead of being
a men's dorm, it is now a women's dorm to accomodate the
rising ratio of women to men. Another big change on
campus was the renovation of Harwell Goodwin Davis
Library. A metal detector has been placed at the exit door
which picks up any book that has not been checked out and
a few that have been checked out!
The procedure of registering for new classes has also
**
120
*^c
been improved. The university's new
computer system is set up in the main
lounge at the beginning of each semester
and it onh takes students a minimum
amount of time to go through the pro-
cess.
A new added feature to Samford Ac-
tivities is "Coffee House." periodical!)

LESLIE S. WRIGHT DAY
1983
I nstead of the traditional "S-Day," 1 983 gave opportunity
to pay special recognition to President Wright with "Leslie S.
Wright Day." The excitement-packed event included mat-
tress races, a greased pig chase, and even tricycle relays.
Many enjoyable activities were planned which involved a
great portion of Samford's students. As stated earlier, "Les-
lie S. Wright Day" was in honor of Mr. Wright who had
previously announced his resignation after years of diligently
serving as president of Samford University. Even though the
traditional "S-Day" will continue each year, "Leslie
S.Wright Day" will always linger as a fun-filled day of life-
long memories.

SAMFORD STYLE
Where else can be found those brilliant Samford smiles? They
brighten the darkest of days and provide excitment in any situa-
tion. Rain or shine, few or many, you can always find a Samford
smile.
Although spring and summer brighten those smiles, winter al-
ways paints a beautiful picture across the mountainside with sight
of the first snow. Blanketing the campus, the snow brings both
peaceful feelings and exciting thoughts. Feelings of thankfulness
and praise, and thoughts of canceled classes. Even though the fun
does not last long, it provides a great break for Samford's hard-
working students and faculty.
Out of these hard-working students and faculty, twenty-eight
representatives from Samford went as missionaries to Nigeria on a
three-week mission trip during Jan-term. The missionaries, spon-
sored by the Alabama-Nigeria Partnership, were the first Ameri-
cans to be admitted into Nigeria after a military coup took place
there. During their stay in Nigeria the missionaries worked at
universities with students, helped in the hospital, and a few attend-
ed a leper colony. A valuable lesson learned was the unselfishness
of the Nigerian people. They offered everything they owned to our
people and often went to great extent for their comfort.

The very thought of these two words brings
memories of both good times and bad. Feel-
ings of energy, fellowship, and exhaustion are
also awakened. Although the program is com-
pletely produced and directed by Samford stu-
dents, many faculty, administration, and par-
ents are included in the work and expense.
The process of preparation for Step Sing
night includes: waiting in line to sign up ideas,
two-and-a-half weeks of stretching, bending,
dancing and singing (while trying to avoid get-
ting sick at the same time,) and hours of ner-
vousness as the nights approach. The "mini-
broadway show'* is a main event on Samford's
campus that provides entertainment and fun
every year.

The Extravaganza Continues
Sixteen organizations competed in
1984's Step Sing show. Among other
things, they were each judged on chore-
ography, sharpness, sound quality, har-
monization, lighting, costumes, and
overall appearance. Each category was
judged on a scale from one to ten (with
ten being the highest.) And after two
nights of judging, the six organizations
with the highest scores went on to per-
form in Sweepstakes, a week later. In
Step Sing 84, every group had an im-
pressive and enjoyable medley of songs
to tie in their themes. As clearly seen by
any spectator. Step Sing provides the
most exciting event of the year in the
lives of Sam ford students.

rizon will find his right
road.

"[Goals] ... are like stars;
you will not succeed in
touching them with your
hands. But like the seafar-

waters, you choose them as
your guides and following
them you will reach your
destiny.
— Schurz
IN MEMORY OF
LINDA LLOYD
Blessed are the pure in
heart for they shall see God. Matthew
5:8. The Lloyd's favorite verse to
describe Linda, the first portion of it is
the epitaph on her grave stone.
"The higher our hopes,
the brighter our days"
is on a cross stitch
pillow she did and
kept on her bed.
"A living hope is
not a new life in
the sense of only
a life after this
one on earth, but
it is a new life of
different qualities
from the ordinary
earthly life, which is
that of union with
Christ. Our first
birth ends in
physical death;
regeneration
issues in eternal
life, a life of hope
the foundation of
hope for a new life
now and beyond
death is the
resurrection of
Jesus Christ."
This is the final
paragraph of her
last term paper
written for Doctor
Edwards entitled
"Hope In First Peter"
Several used the phrase
"quiet goodness" to describe
Linda.
To Linda,
Friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends.
With much love,
Jackie Chancey
"I thank my God upon every
rememberance of you."
Phil. 1:3
"Life is a gift —
a gift from
God." From
the sermon
preached the
Sunday after
her death,
by her
father,
Raymond
Lloyd.
